Bøker av Jeremy Holmes

Storr's The Art of Psychotherapy appeared in 1979 and became an instant classic. After Storr's death, a third edition was rewritten and revised by Jeremy Holmes, and the fourth edition is a further up-to-date iteration.

In The Spirit of Psychotherapy, Holmes considers whether the principles which underpin religion this can be applied to the largely secular world of psychotherapy.

Describing the neuroscientific basis for effective psychotherapy, Professor Holmes draws on the Free Energy Principle, which holds that, through 'active inference' - agency and model revision - the brain minimises discrepancies between incoming experience and its pre-existing picture of the world.

This first-class book provides and unrivalled basis for further discussion as to how to make psychotherapy more effective both ethically and professionally.

Viewing attachment-based therapy as a variant of object relations, the book argues strongly for a rapprochement between psychoanalysis and attachment theory.

Attachment theory provides an overall framework for thinking about relationships, or about those aspects of relationships that are shaped by threat and the need for security, themes that are central to the work of psychotherapy. This book explores the contribution of attachment theory to everyday psycho-therapeutic practice.
